The Globe Glider extension for Google Earth is now available for beta testing...

Try it here!

This network link for Google Earth will 'flood' an area of the globe to a certain height above sea level.

Click here to open the network link in Google Earth.

Go to the area that you want to see flooded and refresh the network link (right-click on the network link in Google Earth and choose 'refresh').

The elevation is set with the 'elev' parameter in the link. You can edit the network link and change the number after '?elev=' to set a new elevation (in meters, 1000 feet = 305 m).

The 'water' level is inaccurate for larger areas because it doesn't follow exactly the curvature of the earth.
